I Tamed a Tyrant and Ran Away - Chapter 120

“What are you talking about?”

Charlize didn’t believe it. The evil god is Charlize. Charlize was the experimental subject and the only successful case of the Kiera project.

Therefore, the evil god could not be Kahu. Kahu had nothing to do with the Kiera project.

‘Besides, the ancient gods who looked like fairies looked at me and called me God.’

Although Charlize couldn’t get all of her memories back. In the past, the wizards of the magic tower called Kiera, Charlize as a god, and the ancient gods honored her by calling her ‘Kiera’.

That’s what Charlize actually experienced. It was a truth that would never go away.

But Payne said calmly.

“Leader, is there any information gap that you didn’t tell me?”

“…Yes, there is.”

Charlize did not tell Payne that she had returned from living 400 years as Kiera. It was like that from the beginning.

Even when he misunderstood Charlize as a ‘real piece of Ehyrit’, he just let it go.

She also did not share with Payne any information that Kahu had also returned. If Payne made a mistake even though he knew the best about mythology, maybe that’s why.

Still.

“The leader said that you were the evil god, but no. The base of the secret magic tower was like a castle in the sky. It looked like a cloud in the sky, but it was like a temple. I found it near there. This clue.”

Payne gave the clue.

Charlize was Kiera, so of course, she could read ancient languages. Payne said exactly what Charlize had interpreted.

“Duke Delmon’s Kahu. From the Blade Empire. Born in the 285th year of the Imperial Calendar. Blonde. Green eyes. I don’t know why it’s written like this.”

Maybe she won’t even tolerate the mistakes of the same name.

Payne added.

Charlize was shocked slowly. It was undeniably Kahu. Charlize read the golden highlighted text.

“…The evil god sealed in the evil’s vessel.”

“That’s right, I’m talking about Kahu.”

It is impossible to manipulate the time the enchantment took place.

It was 10 years ago when the secret magic tower cast protection magic on the clues. For a long time, the secret magic tower has been watching Kahu, thinking that he is a vessel in which evil gods reside.

So this is the truth. It wasn’t a lie.

‘Is Kahu an evil god?’

Charlize’s logic, which she had firmly believed in, was shattered.

Charlize is not an evil god. She doesn’t know what happened, but it was the truth.

‘Then what am I?’

The beings thought to be fairies were actually the ancient gods. Her whole body is engulfed in a shock that cannot be compared to the chaos at that time.

For a moment, she was extremely sensitive to the time she was placed in a different world alone.

‘I…’

Do I really need to know? He says she’s not an evil god. Isn’t that the only thing that matters?

Whoever Charlize was, she could handle everything but the evil god. There was a lot that Charlize felt after she really nearly lost Dylan completely.

‘I don’t care what I am.’

Many questions have been answered. She could understand why Kahu returned.

In the end, it was right that Kahu is caught up in Charlize’s fate.

Charlize was also a genius. Therefore, although it was limited information, it was possible to make it into a story when all were gathered together.

‘The Kiera Project has failed.’

Before her return, Charlize remained rational for 400 years as Kiera, killing countless people.

The wizards must have thought that if she were in the most extreme pain and murderous intent, she would naturally have become evil gods.

But they were wrong. Charlize had never been encroached on by evil gods.

Therefore, Charlize was Kiera, but she was not the evil god. So the wizards of the magic tower were bewildered.

‘And Kahu tracked me down.’

Although she was nothing more than his fiancee, whom he had no relationship with, Kahu risked her life to pursue Charlize for many years.

In the end, he must have encountered the magic tower. There, Kahu disappeared, and, apart from the Kiera project, the magic tower used him as a container for evil gods.

And this time.

‘Perhaps it succeeded.’

She vaguely knows that time has been turned back alone because the evil god is sealed to Kahu.

Then, why is Dylan already black? Maybe it wasn’t the corruption caused by Charlize.

‘He met Kahu.’

He was slowly eating away at the evil that came out of Kahu and dying.

Charlize’s head turned cold. It wasn’t Charlize who was destined to kill Dylan, but Kahu.

‘The ancient gods…’

They said they wanted to bring back more memories to Charlize. But it was Charlize who refused it.

If all the memories are restored, she thinks it will be the completion of the evil god. So she was afraid that Dylan might get hurt.

<Shall we solve that?> 

Was that the reason they asked her in an excited voice as they wandered around Kahu?

<That man.> 

<A real piece of Ehyrit.> 

<I don’t like it.> 

But then why did they say they didn’t like Dylan?

Charlize’s identity has not yet been fully revealed. But

‘Yeah, what does that matter?’

In conclusion, it was important that Charlize was not the evil god.

When she realized it, her heart raced like crazy. Why is she running? Is it because she thought it was unfair that she was the evil god and ran away?

‘No,’

She was happy.

Charlize has been shunned from a young age by the Grand Duke and the two young masters.  Because the Grand Duchess died while giving birth to Charlize.

Although the death of the Grand Duchess wasn’t Charlize’s fault, the wound remained deep in her unconscious.

She had never forgotten for a moment that someone’s death had been with her since the very beginning of her life.

It was Charlize’s fundamental fear. She didn’t want to see anyone close to Charlize die because of her.

‘So, when I was Kiera, I was distressed to see Ronan die.’

Although she had never had a good relationship with her family, the Grand Duke and the two young masters were killed by Keira. She collapsed in despair.

It was Charlize’s weakness.

As soon as she realized that she had returned to being a 13-year-old girl, she vowed not to feel emotion again.

She wouldn’t give affection to anyone. She wouldn’t give up her heart.

‘So I drew a line on Kahu too.’

She clearly told Kahu, who approached Charlize at the ball after the swordsmanship competition, that she had no intention of getting married.

Because she had to take full revenge. Only when she puts the blood of the magic tower and the royal family on her hands will she be able to sleep peacefully without having nightmares.

But Charlize fell in love with Dylan against her will. She lost against her feelings. The time she spent with Dylan was so influential.

Not only did Charlize tame Dylan, but Dylan also tamed Charlize.

It was like that before she knew it, as if many drops made a flood. Charlize eventually accepted Dylan’s courtship and became his lover.

‘If I hadn’t known.’

There was no reason to run away.

She thought it was okay because Dylan even offered to walk with her, ruling by force.

“Evil god Kiera.”

If she hadn’t listened to what Payne had to say to recruit Charlize as an Alperier. Maybe she’ll stay with Dylan forever.

However, even if it was a misunderstanding, she could not stay with Dylan as long as she knew his identity.

‘If you die because of me again. If Dylan dies.’

It would have been such unbearable pain.

She didn’t want to hurt anyone anymore. Especially if it’s Dylan. Even if it wasn’t Charlize’s intention, it was different from that.

She was just born, but her mother, the Grand Duchess, died, and even though others turned her into Kiera and wielded her at will, countless people died.

Even if Charlize is the evil god and kills Dylan, the real piece of Ehyrit.

Even if it wasn’t Charlize’s will. She couldn’t have endured the pain of collapsing from the beginning.

‘I wanted to save him.’

Also, she wanted to live.

Like a human being. Without pain.

But if it was all a misunderstanding. If Charlize is no longer the evil god.

‘I can protect you too.’

She could be a sword used to protect someone, not a sword to kill someone.

For the first time in her life, she was able to convince herself that it was okay to exist.

The boiling emotion was just joy. Repressed joy. Up until now, she had only been keeping her emotions under control.

The first was to take revenge thoroughly, and the second was because she believed that evil gods could not be awakened only by maintaining rationality. But now.

“You said you found their base.”

“Yes, leader, but it’s gone now.”

It will be.

“I’ve broken the protection magic for a few seconds, and the tower must have noticed it. It will be easy to move around the sky.”

Payne handed the magic scroll to Charlize.

“The next time we find the base, we’ll be attacking it immediately. It disappears as soon as we give it time. Can you come as soon as I give you a signal?”

“I’ll wait.”

“If you rip this, it’ll move right away. We decided to use Rapine’s beast to go up in the sky.”

She could feel a tremendous flow of mana from the letter-sized scroll. Charlize opened the scroll in her arms.

Breathed in. It’s hot and dry. Her heart beats. It was so fast that her ears tingled and her throat was numb.

“I’m not the evil god…”

She didn’t know what this felt like because she rarely felt emotions.

What’s touching about the tip of her nose? What is blurring in front of her? What is the feeling of being heavily placed on the chest?

What does it feel like to be surrounded by warmth? What is this feeling that seems to melt in the boiling emotions even though you can’t breathe properly?

‘It’s a joy.’

It was a joy.

***

Charlize looked for Dylan first. She had to immediately isolate Kahu.

‘Even if Kahu is the evil god, he cannot be killed.’

There was also a reason why she didn’t want to get rid of unnecessary blood, but the secret magic tower will surely come to find Kahu.

So, unless there is a guarantee that the secret magic tower’s base can be found again, Kahu should be alive. For revenge, Kahu was needed.

Of course, she felt sorry for him. She’d like to punish the evil god who is destined to kill Dylan by Charlize’s hand.

Still, Kahu became the evil god because of his efforts to save Charlize. Also, if she really tried to kill Kahu, then the sealed evil god might awaken.

‘We have to be careful.’

Charlize opened the door. In the VIP room, Kahu and Dylan with calm faces could be seen.

Charlize looked at Kahu for a moment. Charlize’s eyes were cold before, but now they are as cold as if they would cut them.

“Is your business over, Master?”

Charlize’s gaze returned to Dylan. An emperor with a soft smile.

Emotions were overflowing.

“…Your Majesty.”

Dylan tilted his head slightly to the side as if puzzled, then got up and approached Charlize slowly.

Because Charlize was in a hurry, the other subordinates arrived late one by one. Shadow and Alperier, the Rapine clan and Lucy.

But the subordinates’ gaze didn’t really matter.  What’s important right now is.

“What are you crying about?”

Am I, crying?

Dylan was filled with distorted vision. Charlize’s heart was burning hot. Dylan gently caressed Charlize’s cheek.

“Don’t cry.”

“Dylan, Dyl… lan, Ah-”

Tears burst out unexpectedly.
